Another must-watch video by the great Joseph Vincent. Tom Brady is the Lord of the Rings! Full screen and high volume recommended!

I just changed the home page to be “regular” instead of full width. This is mostly so the top menu shows up the same on the home page as it does on nearly all other pages. Added an Affiliate Disclosure to the Privacy Policy page, as I’d prefer to have all the “official legal junk” in one place. XD Since there was a bit of extra room on the t…[Read more]

Interesting remake. I assume the Bombardier cannon is 3S, since I don’t see it listed with the other cannons? I think this is a much improved version of the Draconum, almost too good. Her cargo I think holds her back from being exceptional, which I think is good, otherwise no one would use the original.

Yes, I forgot to list the Bombardier c…[Read more]

Ben started the topic Question about DJC and PotC packs in the forum Question about DJC and PotC packs 4 days, 11 hours ago
Ahoy fellow pirates;
1. This should be the first of two DJC pack artworks. Does anyone know if ALL of the cards in these packs are the crappy quality that scratches easily? Or perhaps were there multiple print runs in this pack art before they switched to the other packs?
2. Did Will Turner ever show up on a PotC pack? Or did he ju…[Read more]

I’ll probably do that, but like I said, I’m hesitant. I’m not sure how they (we?) would be able to clean things up. It’d be great to have the old account back, but starting over might be less of a hassle.

Ben replied to the topic Interesting News in the forum Pirates CSG 4 days, 12 hours ago

I figured I’d make a topic about it here, so that others can weigh in with their opinions on what I should do next.

I would just go through with the contact us option and try to get the old account back.
